Congrats to our Fall 2024 Class

We're in the last two weeks of our spring course!! All we have left are a couple lectures, a final practical, and a final exam.

We implemented two big additions to this class: office hours and a competency protocol. They go hand in hand. We required our students to both score at least a 70% on every exam as well as demonstrate and adequate understanding of the patient assessment for each practical. Remediation can be done in class or during office hours. Despite not changing the students' score, retaking an exam until comprehension provides a stable foundation to proceed in the course.

The competency protocol is also a safety net for individuals that have a fluke score on an exam but will inevitably pass the class with an 80% average. We need our students to be competent in every facet of the course.

It was a tough course before these additions, but we hope to spend more quality time with students that need some extra work put in during office hours.

Cheers to you Fall 2024,

Vic and Marty
